AceShowbiz - Hip-hop veteran Trick Daddy has been taken into custody after being pulled over by cops after being found asleep behind the wheel.
The star was stopped early on Saturday, January 11, 2020 morning when he told officers he'd come from a club and had just dropped someone off home, according to TMZ.
Although the Florida native told authorities he'd only had a couple of drinks hours earlier, officers told the publication he had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, so they conducted field sobriety tests.
He was later arrested, and when cops transported him to a nearby jail, he allegedly refused to offer a breath sample to determine how much alcohol was in his system.
Things then got worse for the I'm a Thug rapper, real name Maurice Young, as officers found a dollar bill with what they believed to be cocaine residue on the inside.
His bond on the cocaine charge was set at $5,000, with another $1,000 for DUI.
This isn't the first time he has been arrested for cocaine - he was also booked in April, 2014, when police went to his Florida home and found a gram of the illegal substance in his nightstand and a 9mm gun under his pillow.
He was later bailed out - after being charged with possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, and driving with a suspended license.
